Course Recap Flashcards
Intentional design for environment
-minimizing pollution
-minimizing the mass cycle for every product
-minimizing the energy cascade in the system and maximizing efficiency
-minimizing waste
-minimizing life cycle impact
Three Is of design
Identify, implement, invent
Identify
Empathize:
involve end user and experts
- immerse: experience what your user/audience experiences.
-observe: view users and their behavior in the context of their lives
-Engage: interact with and interview users throughout both scheduled and short intercept encounters,
-research
Define/identify need and project requirements
- need statement
- identify requirements: functions objectives and constraints
-identify stakeholders and existing solutions
Invent
- Concept generation: ideation
(Mental process if going wide in terms of concepts and outcomes. Ideation provides the fuel for building prototypes and driving innovative solutions) - Concept Testing
(What should you test, minimum viable product, low fidelity prototypes, test riskiest assumption first, involve end users and experts - Concept selection
Implement
-Implement strategy development
- Implement strategy execution
- Solicit Feedback- involve end-user and experts
When is the cycle done?
-If it is a cycle.. are you never done?
-Does iteration stop before reaching an ideal solution?
- Design team could always come up with a better design (if you had more time or more resources)
- They could always find a better solution in future (more scientific knowledge, improved technology)
-To bring a new piece of technology into being we must always STOP our iteration design process and move on to actual implementation
Need Statement
A way to address problem in/for population.
A way to address problem in/for population that outcomes.
Solution dependent
Pre-defined/implicit solution
Solution Independent
Possible solutions, but not defined
Scoping
Vary scope for problem and population in different combinations
Functions
What the trchnology must do to meet the need
All of the functions that the technology must be able to fulfill to be considered a viable solution
Binary yes or no
Quantify if possible
Objectives
What the design solution should be ideally
Form maximize or minimize, quantifiable with units
If you have >1 possible solutions that meet functions and constraint, objectives are used to choose the best solution
Constraints
Externally applied, what the technology must be or do.
Binary yes or no (if solution is ineligible)
Major constraint Areas
PPM: Plan
Stage 1: Project Planning
1) graphical work breakdown structure
2) Tabular work breakdown structure
3) Network flow diagram and or Gantt chart
Stage 2: Project Plan Analysis
1) Critical Path
2) Resource Modification
Stage 3: Project Plan Management
1) Risk management
2) Ongoing management
Graphical work breakdown structure
Graphical work break down structure: capture all work that needs to be completed.
Hierarchical decomposition around deliverables and associated project goals
Divide project into manageable components
